Welcome to another episode of VGC 18 Baek to Baek Battles, a VGC Battle Spot Series as I go on the Championship Battle Spot Ladder and play some games. The goal of the series is to try out new Pokemon, new strategies and learn as we battle one battle at a time towards the end of the season and the VGC 2018 World Championship!

With Water Bubble Araquanid can do some massive damage with Liquidation and this week we are trying a new combination I was curious to test in Mega Gardevoir and Araquanid. Having a Calm Mind (in more ways than one) can be a huge advantage in VGC as we see in today's episode.
